      Pros

      Handful of very smart people who run the company, work with these people and you're going to enjoy your time there.

      Cons

      The remaining 95% are either old, play politics or have been there for 25+ years. Its time to get some young people who you can nurture. HR department absolutely horrible with the exception of newer HR team.

      Often bizarre internal culture due to the influence of incumbent senior management

      Pros

      Emerson has robust internal procedures, especially with regards to acquisitions. Impressive track record of successfully integrating acquired companies into the main Emerson business.

      Cons

      Despite the very unique collection of characters in senior management, Emerson favors the "Stepford employee" who does what they are told and do not have much in way of personality. Secondly, management watches their employees very closely and any supposedly suspicious behavior (eg. taking or making (very brief) calls in unused meeting rooms) - have led to the employee in question being accused of job-hunting. I have never seen such extreme, laughable paranoia on the part of senior management at any of my former workplaces. Emerson offices are open-concept and some employees have the decency not to subject their coworkers to the gruesome details of their / their children's medical or personal issues, hence their decision to make such calls in private.
